WE PLAYED A FEW TEAM BUILDING GAMES TOO!
Say My Name!
Students pick an action word or a descriptive word (verb or adjective) that alliterates with their name. They also demo a movement that goes with their newly formed alliteration name. Here are the names they came up for themselves.
- Perfect Parker
- Anxious Augustus
- Excellent Xavier
- Vicious Vivian
- Amazing Annabelle
- Observer Ozzie
- Gamer Gabe
- Lion Leonora
- Nadar Naya
- Super Xochi
- Jumping Jackson
- Magical Mikeska
- Awesome Ayala
Hey, Me Too!
This game shows kids how much they have in common with one another and is a variation of the game above. Everyone sits at their desk or table. The teacher calls out a trait, such as curly hair or freckles, and everyone with that trait raises their paddle. Give students a few seconds to look around and take note. Play continues as above
